IJESALAND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSEMBLY AND RLG TRAIN 100 YOUTHS ON ICT AND TECHNICAL SKILLS ACQUISITION

In its unwavering efforts to reduce redundancy and restiveness among the youth, the Ijesaland Community Development Assembly, in partnership with RLG Ilesa, trained 120 individuals on computer, phone and other electronic assemblage and repair.

The RLG-ICDA's empowerment programme was one of the development and social programmes by the Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi; the Asiwaju of Ijesaland led the Ijesaland Community Development Assembly’s initiative to reduce poverty and get the youths off the streets.

Speaking during the flag-off ceremony of the three-month training exercise at the Adulawo Technology City, Ilesa Akure motorway, the corporate office of RLG Institute of Technology, Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi encouraged the beneficiaries to maximise the opportunities embedded in the programme to better their lives and add value to the society.

Alagba Wale Idowu presented all the successfully executed projects initiated by the ICDA, such as unity amongst communities and Traditional institutions in Ijesaland; Construction of Ultra-modern Owa Obokun Adimula Palace in nine months after two previous failed attempts; Construction and delivery of the Community-driven NIBillion Naira Second Geriatric Centre in Nigeria, the Ijesaland Geriatric Centre;

 Facilitating the upgrading of the Osun State College of Education Ilesa to a full-fledged University of Ilesa; Institution of Scholarship awards for over 400 Ijesa Students at Federal Science and Technical College; Institution of Health Insurance Scheme for Ijesa Elderlies where 3,000 beneficiaries are currently enjoying on annual basis; Establishment of ICDA-LEVENTIS FOUNDATION NIGERIA PARTNERSHIP where only Ijesa Youths are currently being trained in agripreneurship for a duration of one year with counterpart fund fully paid by the ICDA to Leventist Foundation Nigeria; Establishment of Good Governance, Transparency, Accountability, and Results-Based Administration with the institution and Inauguration of Ijesaland Independent Development Monitors IIDM; Establishment of the novel all-inclusive, participatory, demand-driven Development Model called Ijesa Development Fund IDF to facilitate all year round development in all our six LGAs in Ijesaland; amongst others.

Asiwaju Fasuyi, in his speech delivered by Alagba Wale Idowu, the former Director General of OSBC, noted that the idea of empowering the youths was born out of the ICDA's passion for impacting the social, educational, economic, health and cultural lives of the society.

He stressed that the society has made provision for a 10,000 naira monthly stipend for each trainee to subsidise their cost of transportation during the programme and 100,000 naira for each of them at the end of the training in addition to providing tools of trade for them.

A member of ICDA, Reverend Lowo Adebiyi, expressed concern over the cold attitude of some Ijesa youths to many employment programmes sponsored by the society and other individuals, saying the increasing engagement of the productive population in street begging is quite alarming.

Elder Adebiyi, however, tasked the beneficiaries on discipline, stating that reports from the Federal School of Science and Technology, Ilesa, about the students of Ijesa descent who are on ICDAs scholarship are heart-breaking.

In a remark, the manager, RLG, Mr Rosin Ilesanmi, advised the trainees to abide by the rules of engagement and warned them against misusing the golden opportunity that comes but once in a lifetime.

Mr Ilesanmi revealed that RLG has been producing TVs and decoders for StarTimes and DStv on request, phones, tablets, desktops and laptops, power banks, key detectors and MP3 devices.

“Our facility is proudly ISO and NITDA certified with a 5000 STB/5000 phones/2500 laptops per day and over 200,000/month device manufacturing capacity. With factory management team support from FOXCONN, RLG-Adulawo has enjoyed over 7 years of manufacturing experience in Africa” he said.

Addressing the trainees, the chairman of RLG Institute of Technology, Alhaji Rasque Animasaun, disclosed that the company has been enjoying patronage from the federal government of Nigeria and multinational companies all over the world, but not from the Osun State government.

W

According to him, the company had not only added value to the technological revolution of the state but also helped to provide jobs for many of its citizens, hence the need for the state government to be inward-looking to patronise home-grown goods and services for sustainability.

 The  ICDA members that attended the flag off ceremony were , Reverend Lowo Adebiyi, Chief Olatunbosun, chief Afolabi Igbaroola, Mr Bukola Fadipe , Erelu Jumoke Olafadehan and  Mr Wale Idowu .

MACEDONIAN CALL: CHRISTIANS APPLAUD THE IJESALAND DEVELOPMENT FUND INITIATIVE

The Ijesaland Development Fund campaign receives a boost as churches massively endorse the project when the Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi-led Ijesaland Community Development Assembly visits the Cathedral of Saints John's, Iloro, Ilesa Diocese Anglican Communion.  

The Diocesan Bishop, Right Revend Dapo Asaju, described the initiative as a Macedonian call to redeem the glory of Ijesaland.  

Right Reverend Asiwaju showered encomium on all the Ijesaland developers who have been contributing to the realisation and solidification of various lofty development ideas initiated by the deep thinkers under the auspices of the Ijesaland Community Development Assembly and prayed for a renewed unction of the Holy Ghost upon them for greater exploits.

Earlier the Asiwaju of Ijesaland had explained to the church how many development projects running into billions of naira were achieved by a very few Ijesa patriots and the reason for everyone who is of Ijesa origin to be part of the laudable communal effort to transform Ijesaland as dreamt by her progenitors.  

Analysing the 10 levels of the contribution as indicated in the IDF modus operandi, Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi maintained that all the Ijesas from the age of twenty-one years upwards and the non-indigenes who have benefitted from the land socioeconomically were qualified to contribute a maximum of 1 million Naira and a minimum of 1 thousand Naira annually towards achieving the objective.

He stated that though the contribution, which was scheduled for January 2026, might begin earlier due to the prevailing requests of some individuals that advocated the accelerated commencement of the project, which he said would be beneficial to all six local government areas in Ijesaland. 

 According to the Asiwaju of Ijesaland, a committee of 10 to 11 members representing each ward in each of the 6 Local Government Areas would be constituted to carry out a Needs Assessment Study for each of the local councils in determining suitable projects for them.  

All the congregants showed their overwhelming support when the leader of the ICDA sought their opinions about the initiative.  

Recall that the Ijesaland Community Development Assembly midwifed the birth of the new Owa's palace, the Ijesa Geriatric Centre, and the University of Ilesa, which championed the sponsorship of 250 indigent students of the Federal School of Science and Technology Ilesa and 100 students of the Leventis Foundation Agricultural School Ilesa.

IJESA ELDERS KEY INTO THE IJESALAND DEVELOPMENT FUND, LAUD ASIWAJU YINKA FASUYI FOR THE INITIATIVE

Senior citizens in Ijesaland have expressed total support for the Ijesaland Development Fund initiative of Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi, the Asiwaju of Ijesaland and the president/CEO of Ibadan Business School, to raise one billion naira annually to transform the region. 

Speaking during the presentation of the IDF to the Ijesa elders at the Oba Adekunle Aromolaran Civic Centre, Ereja Square, Ilesa, Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi told the people that the focus was to ensure that all the people of Ijesa descent above 21 years of age contribute to the project. 

Asiwaju Fasuyi emphasised that the step became imperative to avoid donation fatigue among the about 120 Ijesas patriots who funded the new Owa’s palace and over 300 people who sponsored the Ijesaland Geriatric Centre. “The idea is to enable everyone to have their names registered in the IDF account book. Names of the contributors will be published online, and the printed copy will be made available to them annually”. 

 On the schedule of implementation, the Asiwaju said the entire 2025 would be devoted to massive sensitisation of the traditional rulers, community leaders, Ijesa societies and clubs, professional groups, vocational groups, religious organisations, political organisations, Ijesa diasporan groups, market women and men, and vulnerable groups, to mention a few. 

Asiwaju Fasuyi hinted that 2025 would also be used for the creation of a website and the setting up of a secretariat and other management logistics to ensure the smooth running of the operations in the year 2026. 

He added that a 10-level payment profile has been designed that allows for a minimum contribution of N1,000 (one thousand Naira) only per annum, stressing that the top ceiling contribution is open-ended as the individual commitment, capacity, and endowments dictate. 

LEVEL 1:N1,000 X 150,000 N50,000,000

LEVEL 2: N2,500 X 50,000 125,000,000

LEVEL 7:N100,000X 1,000 N100,000,000

LEVEL 8: N250,000 X 300 N75,000,000

LEVEL 9: N500,000 X 150 N75,000,000

LEVEL 10: N1,000,000 X 75 N75,000,000

“In order to promote commitments from all communities in Ijesaland, coupled with the need to ensure that proceeds from the fund are spread across all communities in Ijesaland to prosecute their community-driven projects, individuals will be made to market their payments into any of the six local governments of their choice in Ijesaland. He/She will be made to indicate in which of the six local governments in Ijesaland he/she wants his/her donation to be credited”. 

 The idea, according to the Yeyerise of Ilesa (Looja Obirin Ijesa) Chief Mrs. Hannah Ojo, is a blueprint for a new Ijesaland since it will allow everyone to participate in the land's development. 

According to her, the IDF would lessen the load on the few Ijesa patriots who had been in charge of transforming Ijesaland into the socioeconomic centre of the Yoruba nation. 

Also speaking, the Ogboni of Ilesa, High Chief Saka Fapohunda, urged everyone to heed the clarion call and elevate Ijesa to the level of its forefathers' ambitions. 

The proposed Ijesaland Development Fund was overwhelmingly approved by everybody in attendance, and they praised the Ijesaland Community Development Assembly members and its founder, Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi, for their many inspiring initiatives to promote the unity and advancement of the region. 

On the entourage of the Asiwaju of Ijesaland were Chief Afolabi Igbaroola, Alagaba Wale Idiwu, Erelu Olafadehan, and Mr. Olatunbosun.
